  NOTE: Who were the three Fits children? Nancy did have three childrem from her previous marriage with Oliver Harris Fitts:
  1) John Henry Fitts born: About 1846:
  2) Temperance Fitts born September of 1846 in Texas and died 1943 in Clarke County, Alabama;
  3) Sarah Ann Fitts born about 1850 in Texas, Died young in Texas.
  Sarah Ann Fitts died before Oliver and Nancy were divorced. Then, John and Temperance moved backto Clarke County with their father Oliver Harris Fitts who just abondoned his section of land in Texas.
  So why were these three Fits children listed in the census? They were not living in the household. I guess the census taker asked Nancy if she had other children and what their ages would be.
